Marketing

Article Abstract:

Benetton Group S.p.A.'s controversial advertising campaigns have earned the ire of several consumer groups. The use of non-conventional soft-sell techniques prompted people to question the relationship between Benetton's advertising and its clothes designs. One of the more controversial ads, for instance, portrays a black child as a devil and a white child as an angel. The ad's allusions to racism and other social statements have been tagged as too revolting. Benetton, however, claims that such social hang-ups exist only in the minds of the consumers and that clarifications on such matters might only be ignored by an outraged public.
